 ===== Methodology ===== ===== Methodology =====
  
-For the estimation of NMVOC, Germany decided against the proposed EF of the EMEP/EEA Guidebook 2019, but instead for the Tier1 approach of the US-EPA which is also reproduced there (Part B, 5.A, chap. 3.2.2, p. 5) [(EMEPEEA2019)]. +For the estimation of NMVOC, Germany decided against the proposed EF of the EMEP/EEA Guidebook 2023, but instead for the Tier1 approach of the US-EPA which is reproduced in the EMEP/EEA Guidebook 2019 (Part B, 5.A, chap. 3.2.2, p. 5) [(EMEPEEA2019)]. 
  
 According to national experts in the field, the approach of the US-EPA is more likely to produce better data, because the ratio between NMVOC (1.3 %) and CH<sub>4</sub> (98.7 %) in VOC from landfill gas is scientifically sound and assumed to be the very same in Germany. Also, already existing and published data for methane emissions from landfills, derived from the IPCC-FOD Waste Model (see NIR of Germany), can be used. However, with the NIR 2023 some of the emission parameters used to estimate methane emissions have been modified (DOC for food waste, DOC<sub>f</sub> for wood/straw, half-life time for paper and wood/straw) according to the results of research projects initiated for the improvement of the German inventory reporting (Stegmann et al, 2018; pages 172-173, table 36) [(STEGMANN2018)]. As a result, the methane emissions have changed considerably and thus the related NMVOC-emissions that are reported here. According to national experts in the field, the approach of the US-EPA is more likely to produce better data, because the ratio between NMVOC (1.3 %) and CH<sub>4</sub> (98.7 %) in VOC from landfill gas is scientifically sound and assumed to be the very same in Germany.

-Emissions for PM<sub>2.5</sub>, PM<sub>10</sub> and TSP, reported under this category, are calculated using the Tier1 approach of the EMEP/EEA Guidebook 2019, where the emission factors are 0.033, 0.219 and 0.463 [g/t] [(EMEPEEA2019)].+Emissions for PM<sub>2.5</sub>, PM<sub>10</sub> and TSP, reported under this category, are calculated using the Tier1 approach of the EMEP/EEA Guidebook 2023, where the emission factors are 0.033, 0.219 and 0.463 [g/t] [(EMEPEEA2023)].
  
 The EFs are multiplied with the total amount of solid waste (AD) treated in managed above-ground landfills, following the standard equation: The EFs are multiplied with the total amount of solid waste (AD) treated in managed above-ground landfills, following the standard equation:

 However, in this year's reporting the correction of the deposited waste quantities is higher than usual and thus is affecting the recalculation of TSP an PMs to a higher extend than is usually the case. For this reason, the recalculation is reported here. For the sake of completeness NMVOC emissions are also reported.\\ However, in this year's reporting the correction of the deposited waste quantities is higher than usual and thus is affecting the recalculation of TSP an PMs to a higher extend than is usually the case.
